A night of nothingness.

This desert sucks.

We met with Ioden at the bridge and continued on into a desert. But first, a village! There's no weapons/armor shop here, but there's a house on the southeast. Inside ate two wounded soldiers. The gist is they were attacked by Felix and crew in the middle of the massive sandstorm. The soldiers were guarding someone named Sheba, but she was nowhere to be found. From here, let's go into a sandstorm!

This isn't hard, but it sure is long. Sulhalla Desert is an attrition dungeon, more than anything, because of the number of minibosses and optional, genuine bosses. There are several small crevices along the way, and each is guarded by a sandstorm. The villagers informed us that water affected the storms, so get your Douse Psy ready! Each time you approach the whirlwind, use Douse to fight the creature who spawned it. Tornado Lizards can do a lot of damage, being able to attack twice a round, but they'll only last two or three rounds. At the first fork, head right for a dead end with a great arm armor. There are two more tornado lizards, though. One is just before the djinn, so if you get chased by a tornado, go back and use Reveal. Follow the footsteps for a secret pillar. As for the Storm Lizard, he beat me up. I managed to win, but Garet was killed, and I have no idea how Ivan survived. He has the same tactics as the other lizard but is much stronger. Through the cave behind the djinn is a pink tornado. I didn't fight him out of fear. I was running low on HP and PP, so I just left. Apparently, this tornado takes you to that secret dungeon I didn't know about on the ship. But you need another Psy skill, so I'll be back.

Beyond this is a military checkpoint. Everyone is dying, though, because Felix attacked them. They say they'll live, but there's another down the path that isn't so lucky. The only other thing here is the Mercury djinn! The Venus Lighthouse is before us, but we'll tackle that...

... tomorrow!

I bothered to adjust my classes from the de facto default. Issac is a dragoon because why not. They can heal in this game. Mia is something that had access to Wish Well because I want more healing. Garet is a fast ruffian, and Ivan is in just his default stuff. I'll look into some things later. Everyone has their role and gid stats, but I'm not using two earth djinns...
